first off one qustion...does the itester suppose to show voltage. if so i am not getting any and theres the problem lol.

next, i dont know if my circuit is right to begin with. heres some pics. also the wires with the numbers attached are to the serial connector, numbered accordingly, and thsoe are brand new batterys.

Model is X60

The capacitors must be cut as short as possible. That part on the left is unrealistic, is tooo looong
Our friend Ray posted an article on how to build the driven circuit on breadboards:

BTW, I guess you know X60 is not using 24RF08, you need PC8394 tools for that model.

thank you im going to try the site today and hopefully it works. and yea i have the pc8394 tools, i got that part right at least haha


also does the itester program show voltage? or just binary code
